Mr. P. Moss, of Po'rtobello, Otago, oAvng a. cutter nearly • 100 years old, and he is Avondering aaliotlier it is worth Avhile repairing the venerable craft. It is the poAvder cutter Otago, AA'hich is, used for carrying -explosives to various parts of the harbour. Its origin, beyond the fact that it was a ship’s cutter, is unknoAvn to the present oAvner. About 70 years ago it was the Customs launch* and sailed out- to meet incoming ships. AfterAvards it Avas owned’ by the Har1/Oitr Board and used for the lifting and laying of moorings for channel buoys. MattlieAV Dickson acquired it from the Harbour Board about 18 years ago and sold it to the present OAvner. The cutter Avas built of oak timber and fastened vvitli copper nails. The nails iioav require to be reneAved below ’ the waterline, and it doubtful Avhether the cost of refastening all the bottom planks would be justified.
